Southern Charm's Madison and Austen's relationship history
Madison LeCroy and Austen Kroll's on-again, off-again relationship was a major storyline on Southern Charm during seasons 6 and 7. The two parted ways in 2020, and have since moved on with new relationships.
Madison married Brett Randle in 2022, while Austen has recently made his relationship with his girlfriend Audrey public.
Despite their past, Madison and Austen appear to have reached a place of mutual respect and are even considering the possibility of double-dating with their respective partners.
During her WWHL appearance, Madison explained how their relationship has evolved. She shared that Austen had even invited her and Brett to go out with him and Audrey.
Still, Madison was not definitive whether the double date would come to fruition; however, her tone implied that this idea was not off the table, saying:
"He actually asked me tonight to go out with the two of them, but..."

"She's good.. she's sweet."
Regarding rumors about Austen’s actions early in his relationship with Audrey, Madison emphasized that there was no need for concern. She explained that since Austen is not married, he is free to act as he pleases, particularly if the relationship with Audrey is still in its early stages:
"If it was early on in their relationship, then who cares."
Who is Austen Kroll's girlfriend, Audrey?
Austen Kroll revealed his relationship with Audrey during Southern Charm Season 10, which premiered on December 5, 2024. He shared that he met Audrey in the summer of the previous year and that they had been dating for about three months.
Although details about Audrey’s background remain sparse—such as her profession—Austen offered insight into the dynamics of their relationship.

Southern Charm's Austen also noted that referring to Audrey as his girlfriend was a significant step for him, saying,
